Default Is the Futaba 12FG being discontinued

I would like to get an official answer to my question from the Futaba reps. Is the 12FG being discontinued by Futaba? If so, how long will I continue to be able to get my 12FG serviced?

Is the 12Z also being discontinued?

Yes it is discontinued/out of production.

Was posted officially on FG.

The 12FG and 12Z transmitters have been discontinued by Futaba. We'll continue to support those systems as long as it is humanly possible. That means for at least the next five years or so.

OK, thanks. From what I can tell, the only radio that Futaba will have that supports "conditions" in normal airplane mode will be the 18MZ, is that correct?

Bax,
I understand you may not know or be allowed to give out specific or estimated release dates.
However, can you let us know if the 12FG will be replaced? If so, will it have more channels and approximately when? Some time in 2013?
